Have you heard about Ikea Family Live? It’s sort of like Houzz, but with a personal twist.
First spotted via Vintage Simple after she posted this homey image:
I’ve been quite smitten since.
Instead of “Idea Books”, they have “Home Stories”, where people take you into their own homes and share the process of designing them.
Like the family above, who converted an old school into their house. Read their “Home Story” here.
I’ve always had a thing for European design sensibilities.
Mixed with the fact that I’ve been in love with Ikea forever…
Ikea Family Live is a smorgasbord of inspiration for me.
And now maybe for you too.
It looks really cool! I am going to go check it out. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love inspiration! Thanks for posting this.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. So pretty and lots of inspiration.

Oooh, thanks for the referral!! Looks like some inspiration is in my future.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rie - why does it always seem us 'westerners' are one step behind Europe? So clever of Ikea and closer in reality to most folks whereas Houzz features are a bit unattainable. Great post.
ReplyDeleteOoh thanks! I have loved IKEA since I first visited it in Sweden in the late '80's!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very inspiring, Rie...thanks!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Thanks for the info! I have an IKEA just 20 minutes from me now, and I'm in heaven!
ReplyDeleteI love that too. I learned about it when another blog I follow had her house actually featured in it. It's full of rooms to dream about.

I love the ceiling. I've wanted to do this with my front porch ceiling, but why not the whole house?!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! We recently built a house but it looks 'old'. I would love to have things like those in your pictures to decorate with. Thank you for sharing.
